18 inches
According to federal law the shortest barrel length allowed for both rifle or shotgun is 16 inches.
Unable to answer as asked. Is it already a shotgun or will it be built from a virgin receiver?
Eighteen inches for the barrel alone. This does not count any add-ons such as a choke.
minimal length of a shotgun is set by the Federal Firearms Act....The barrell can be no shorter than 18 inches(measured with the breech or bolt closed, breech or bolt fase to muzzle) with a minimum overall length of 27 inches.
Laws restricting sawed-offs are federal, though there's nothing illegal about shortening the barrel of a shotgun as long as the final product is at least 18 inches.
Depends on what you want to do with it and if you want to go to the trouble of getting the appropriate federal approval.
A shotgun barrel with a cylinder bore choke.
yes a rifled shotgun barrel or smooth shotgun barrel
Without requiring NFA permits, 16 inches, and that's federal law.
18 inches and a total overall length of at least 26 inches, just like in the rest of the US.
Close the shotgun action and insert a rod down the barrel to the standing breech (to the rear edge of the chamber or where the back of the shotgun shell would be). Mark the end of the rod protruding from the barrel. Remove the rod and measure its length. Per federal law (GCA 1934), this must be a minimum of 18"
